Used in Context: After 5 months of being married I decided to start eating healthier. Fletcher agreed to support me. As you may know, Fletcher is tall, dark, and handsome. Along with that he is not so stocky, to say the least.
One morning Fletcher was getting dressed and he puts on his pants and nonchalant says, "Welp down a belt size." I just stand there with the most disgusted look on my face (AKA the sass attack). How could Fletcher be losing weight when he wasn't even trying? Had Fletcher known my inner struggle I am sure he would not have been so insensitive during such a crucial moment in history.
By the look on my face he could tell something was wrong. He responses with the classic "ET-OH" face. I then begin to laugh. He comes over to hug me and I tell him through sniffles my frustration of feeling 'chubby'. As always, he makes it better.
Other Notes on the Sass Attack: Usually after the Sass Attack is received by the Sass Attackee the Sass Attacker feels extremely guilty and breaks down. In short, husbands are always the best.
oh yes. the sass attack. it happens... poor husbands...
ReplyDeleteand i'm having the same problem! no matter how healthy we eat, i stay exactly the same and husband just gets more and more in shape. ugh.
I'm an awful Sasser. you are for suuuuure not alone! yay for the sweetest husbands ever!
ReplyDeleteThe portion control thing is SUCH A PROBLEM!! My husband always dishes my portions for me like I am a 200 lb man. Do I need to eat 3 cups of chili at lunch? Probably not.
ReplyDeleteMy husband gave me the sass attack this morning. It was not well received. He apologized. :)
Hahhaah okay how have i not found your blog until NOW!?! I am obsessed with it and you are the best/funniest writer ever!!
ReplyDeleteYa, totally struggle with this too - love that you made it into a funny and happy story cuz usually it's not!
aw, I hope one day i can find a hubby like that. :) Love that picture of you two!
ReplyDeleteOh the sass attack. It happens!
ReplyDeleteMan, my husband is a toothpick. I feel bad because I want to eat healthier but I also want him to eat A LOT so that he doesn't look like a homeless guy or something. Also, I don't want people wondering if I feed him enough or whatever, haha. But yes. I like that phrase "Sass attack." It sounds much nicer than "being a spoiled brat." haha! At least in my case!
ReplyDeleteha! kendall is the master of the sass attack. we're quite the pair in those situations..
ReplyDeleteOh geez, I can relate to this big time. It's the same way for me and my husband and it can be super frustrating. I am always happy for him.....but it's not fair :P
ReplyDeleteperfectly acceptable sass attack :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, husbands are the best. Once a month (noncoincidental) I have a major meltdown and hubs just holds me and lets me cry it out. And then I eat a cake, because eating cake always helps with feeling chubby :)
ReplyDeleteBut in all seriousness, I had the same problem until I gave up dairy and meat, but dairy really helped me lose and maintain my weight. Watch "Forks Over Knives", it'll change your persective
thank you! I will have to watch it!
Deletelol. thank goodness for sweet hubbies! portion control is the only way i lose weight. i can workout every single day and not lose a pound.
ReplyDeleteloving your blog. can't wait to read more!
xoxo. jillian
ummm seriously, working out does nothing for me!
Deleteugh why do boys have it so easy?? seriously they loose like as fletcher without even trying how do they do it?? ugh! oh well gotta keep trying harder
ReplyDeleteMy husband are in the SAME boat! He's losing weight like crazy, while I've lost nothing. It's the birth control..I swear ;D
ReplyDeleteGirl, why is it that men lose weight soooooo much faster than us??? Drives me nuts! Don't get discouraged. Thanks for stopping by my blog! New reader here! :)
ReplyDeleteyup, I get the sass too! After 9.5 years of being married to him, I finally have learned to sass back in a way that is uninsulting and usually results in a hug.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, yeah, why DO they lose weight so much faster?!? Seriously. after everything I went through to give birth to and nurse our four daughters, you would think I would at least earn the privilege of easy weight loss?!? Sheesh LOL
The Sass Attack! I love it! Now I can tell my husband there's a name for it. :)
